- Date: December 16, 2002
- Aircraft: BAe 125
- Location: Seattle-Boeing Field, Washington, United States
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The crew failed to verify that the landing gear was down and locked before landing and did not follow the checklist. An inoperative gear warning horn was a contributing factor.
A Hawker (BAe 125) business jet operated by National Aircraft Leasing landed at Seattle Boeing Field with its landing gear not extended. The crew had not verified the gear before landing, and the gear-not-extended warning horn was found not to sound because of a faulty relay. The aircraft was substantially damaged and no one was hurt.
